Why is my right pinky finger numb intermittently?

Good evening. I'm 21 years old, I have been noticing a numbness to my pinky finger of my right hand for quite some while now, it could literally last some hours, sometimes a day, it happens like once in a week. Whenever I have this numbness, I can move the other fingers, but the pinky finger sometimes affects my fourth finger,the finger beside it. Please what can I do?.

You might have a problem with a nerve in your arm that's causing your pinky and sometimes your ring finger to feel numb. This can happen if you put a lot of pressure on your elbow or do activities like typing for a long time. Try not to lean on your elbow too much or do activities that worsen it. You can also try gentle stretches to relax your hand.  If the numbness continues then consult a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hello, some help please, difficulty thinking connected with a continuous right arm and leg pain, at times i loose even sight, it occurs most especially when am forced to do a hard task at work which seems undoable, too many calls from people, stress times at work. The arm pain is continuous, it reduces only when I continuously swing my arm in all directions. Is it pressure!! What can I do.

You may be­ dealing with stress and thoracic outlet syndrome­. This happens when nerve­s or blood vessels near your ne­ck and shoulder get pinched, causing pain and foggy thinking. Stre­ss and repetitive move­ments worsen it. Take bre­aks and do gentle stretche­s. Try relaxing activities too.

I was having a mild UTI infection for which I did a course of k ston, rotec and cefspan for 7 days. Now UTI symptoms have recovered but I feel numbness and pain in legs and feet. My body shakes and I feel weakness I can't bend my head as it feels my body is moving back and forth. Sometimes I also feel acidity, my head and neck hearts

Female | 21

You might be suffering from some adverse reactions to the medications you took for your UTI. Numbness, pain in legs and feet, body shaking, weakness, difficulty bending your head, acidity, and headache can be the side effects of the medicines. In cases like this, the medicines might not be suitable for your body. Make sure to tell your doctor about these symptoms for him to give you the right advice.

I'm 21 years old and I take the 2 capsule of the vitamin e 400g and I didn't sleep well and my brain is too much heavy

Male | 21

Seems that insomnia and the sensation that your brain is heavy might have appeared after you consumed two 400mg Vitamin E capsules. The reason is that Vitamin E overdose suppresses the nervous system and symptoms like insomnia which may be accompanied by feelings of confusion. Get enough hydration, eat well, and stay away from Vitamin E.

I have pain near my one side temple region

Female | 18

Pain localized to one side of your temple may stem from various factors, including tension, migraines, or sinus issues. Often, accompanying symptoms such as sensitivity to light or sound can indicate a migraine, while pressure around the nose may suggest sinus problems. Staying hydrated, managing stress, and practicing relaxation techniques can help alleviate discomfort. However, it’s essential to keep track of your symptoms and consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. They can provide personalized care and recommend the most suitable treatment options to address your concerns effectively.

Dear Doctor, I'm reaching out because I'm concerned about my health I experience: - Constant headaches with a throbbing, knocking pain - Pain above, behind, under, and around my eyes - Bloody spit when I wake up in the morning - Facial pain - Pain behind my neck - Constant tiredness - Random struggles with finding the right words to say - Dizziness when standing up, similar to when I start up too fast I'm worried about what might be causing these symptoms, and I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Your symptoms, including persistent headaches, facial discomfort, and fatigue, could stem from several conditions, such as sinus issues, tension headaches, or even dehydration. The blood in saliva may indicate an underlying issue that warrants further evaluation. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly recommend tests to identify the root cause. In the meantime, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest adequately, and note any additional changes in your symptoms.

Doctor sahb mujhe Ahtlaam ho jata hai

Male | 28

Very well, Ahtlaam which is also sometimes called nocturnal emissions is defined as the ejaculation that one might experience in sleep. In fact, it is a very common thing during puberty. Signs and symptoms of it are feelings of self-consciousness and apprehension (but it is a normal body process). The causes of it could be associated with hormonal changes and sexual dreams. The best way to sort it out is by exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.

I am 24 year old and I m having stiffness in my head feel pinching irritation and feels empty like feeling very quick and tired

Female | 24

Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We understand your concerns and are here to provide guidance.

Feeling stiffness, pinching irritation, and a sense of emptiness in your head could indicate various underlying factors. These symptoms may stem from stress, anxiety, or even migraines. Stress often manifests as tension headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head. It's also possible these symptoms could be related to migraines, which can cause throbbing pain and sensitivity to light and sound. Additionally, conditions like anxiety can contribute to sensations of head stiffness and quick fatigue. It's important to consider any recent changes in your lifestyle or stress levels that might be triggering these symptoms.

Next Steps to Follow

  1. Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a neurologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms in detail. They can conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
  2. Medical Evaluation: Your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or blood tests to rule out neurological conditions or other health issues.
  3. Lifestyle Modifications: Practice stress management techniques, and gentle exercises like yoga or meditation, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support overall well-being and manage symptoms.
  4. Follow-up: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider as advised.

 

Health Tip

Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate symptoms. Deep breathing exercises and gentle stretches can help reduce tension and promote relaxation.

It's the middle of the night and I keep stretching my legs my arms and everything continuously and it's driving me crazy and I don't seem to fall asleep what's wrong with me??

Female | 15

You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.
